full, clear, and exact description the in ventien, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the aceompanyihg drawin and to the figures of reference marked t ereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to generators, and snore particularly to a device of that class "for generating gas from crude oil the object of my invention beingto pnl'ride a device of that class which is simple and economical in construction and operation, and.comprises the'improved details of structure hereafter fully described and pointed out in the.

claims,. reference being had to thcsaecomrallying drawin s forming lcation, in'whlch like re ere-nee numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views, and in whichz- Figure I is a view in side elevation, of a vention. Fig. II is a central ngitudinal section of same, part of the inner d broken away to disclose its structure. Fig.

Referring more in detail to the parts: 1 designates a cylindrical casing which is mounted on ports. gecurely mounted on cssin 1 are the end caps 8 having 0 enings therein in which are seated the stu ing being preferably located below the vertical 46. center of said caps when the parts are assembled. j

Located .within casing 1 is a drum 5, which is so ported a short distance from the bottom of t e casing by the pipes 6-7 which latter project through the central openings 7 in the drum ends, and are rigidly secured'to Specification of Letters Patent. Application lied April 18, 1.00. lsrlal In. 430,070.

standards 2 or other suitable boxes 4; said openings Patented March 23, 1909.

said drum ends and packed attheir entrances to prevent the casing to the drum or vice verse.

The outer ends-of ipes 6 and 7 project through the stufling oxes 4 in the casin caps; pipe 6 leadin to and connecting wit 1 the ex aust port 0 the engine (not shown),

forwhich the g into a case 16, from and pipe 7 disc r whie pipes 7 lear back under casing 1 and lgenerator supplies fuel gas,

against the bottom of the casing. provided with a car or belt wheel the drum may e revolved when rum Pi e 7 is 8 )y whic I f necessa pipe Tmgg its outer and y astanda 9., havlng a journai box 10 in which said pipe may revolve; and case 16 may he supported by'a bracket 17. carried b said standard. 0n drum is a peri heral worm'll which extends from one em of said drum to the other, within: outer edge in close proximity to the bottom of the casing. g In the top of easin 1 near the exhaust inlet end, is a pipe 12 t rough which crude oil ma be fed, and at the opposit end is an out at pipe 13 for the gas generated within the casing; while pro ecting through the bottom of the casin at the end 0 posits the oil inlet is an outlet pipe 14,-for1lie wasteor residue which remains after the vaporization of the .oil. Pipes 12, 13 and i4 areconnected res JOC-LlWlV with an oil supply, a gas tank, an a catch well, or similar devieegof any ordinary construction, and as nov invention of such parts is claimed, they are not illustrated in the drawing.

Exte'ndin beneath casing l is a burner 15, which may e fed irom any suitable source, and is ada ted for aiding in heating the easing should the exhaust from the engine b insufficient for that urpoee.

When in-use, the rum 5 is revolved within the casing by revolving has 7 to which the drum is rigidly attached? and heated air or steam is fed into the drum through pipe 6'. The heating medium passes through the drum and exhausts through pipe 7 into case 16 in its assage having heated the drum sides and c e interior of easing 1. on and be supported at glschar es the air or steam exhausting from.

passage of air or gas from the connected with-a suitable motor (not shown).

so pigs 13.

- hould the exhaust from the engine, and

be insufficient to generate '5 after sue vaporization being dischar ed through pipe 14. Should a greater quantity of oil enter the casing than can readily be vaporized, it is carried along on the drum by the worm 11 until vaporization takes place,

then lifted by the worm into contact with the drum to ive it an opportunity for treatment by the eated drum sides. 2

-Owin to the high temperature of the interior ,0? the casing when the generator is n o oration, the exhaust from drum 5 is adaptable for heating purposes, and I therefore provide the; branch 7 which extends .back under the casing and assistsin heating saidcasing, as noted. i By having the drum arranged as described the w rm is brought into contact with the oil. which has dro pad to the bottom of: the casing, in order t at said 011 may be hfted and agitated, and the residue moved forwardly to'the outlet -14; such arran ement also providing a space inthe top of t e casing', above thedrum, tenths-collection and drying of the gas before its exit through from' the drum,

as from the oil, the burner beneath the easing may be lighted to make up the deficiency.

a casing having an oil above said drum, a worm integralwith ant prpijecting fromthe periphe of. said drum, a'n means for heating-said rum.

2. In a generator a casing having an oil inlet and a gas out at port, a drum in said casing ada ted to revolve in proximitylo the casing rotto m and arranged to 'Pl'OVlClB a gas chamber within the cas ng above said drum, a worm integral with and projecting from the peri her'y of said drum, means for heating said drum, and means for revolving 'said drum. v
